1. It's been huge, all over, since about 9:00.
At 45 degrees north it's right overhead, sometimes covers half the sky.

3. Still going in Michigan
Mostly green streamers from west to east. Didn't know it moved that quick. At some point I'm going to have to stop watching and go to bed.

10. Hey, Whitewater!!
I'm from Fort Atkinson (originally), and my parents now live at Fairhaven!!

We're overcast here (Algoma - east of Green Bay); but that might just be the lake effect.

12. I was out earlier watching them (NW Iowa) and a plane went over
and I wondered what they looked like up there. What's it look like from up there?
